Something a bit different

Good Morning

Today I would like to show you something a bit different from me.

This is a Slate heart which I bought with the intention of doing 'something' with it.

As I am trying to be better at looking after myself and eating better I decided to make this and have it hanging in my Kitchen to remind myself how well I am doing.

The slate heart is approc 20cm high.

It came with some twine to hang it, I have replaced this with 'measuring tape' ribbon.

The flowers are a mixture of Hobby House and Prima flowers.

The wording was cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

A few gems in the centre of some of the flowers.

A heart stick pin and a pearl one finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

Hello There

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you another couple of Hobby House topper cards. They have both been made using the extra backing papers from the Little Treasures kit.

This first card is a 6x6" white card blank.

I have used Chocolate Brown Bazzill Bling card for matting and layering.

Some brown velvet ribbon.

A bow and some resin flowers from Hobby House.

The mat for the topper was cut using the PixScan mat for the Cameo.

This second card was also made using the 'leftovers' from the kit.

Again I have used Brown Bazzill Bling for matting and layering.

The flowers were from my stash (Wild Orchid).

The leaves were die cut with a Joy crafts die.

Again the topper mat was cut on the Silhouette Cameo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Oops where did that year go!

Good morning

Sorry it has been a while since I posted. Life has got in the way, and for a while I haven't done much crafting :( 

In order to give my crafty mojo a reboot I have been using a Hobby House card making kit. 

Both these cards were made using the Little Treasures Kit. The great thing about these kits is that you get way more backing papers and embellishments than you need. This has given my mojo the nudge it needed to get back into gear.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ssh, another Stepper

Good morning 

Shh, I have another Stepper card for you today. Told you what I was like when I get a new toy.

This one was made for my Uncle's birthday. I started off with die cut flourishes, buttons and twine on it, but it just wasn't him. PLain and simple, thats more like him!

So, Die cut White A4 card.

Mats in dark Blue Bazzill

A sleepy Topper from Lili of the Valley.

A Happy Birthday Sentiment.

Quick, simple and no fuss, not at all like me!

Thanks for stopping by.

Stepper Card

Good morning

Today I would like to share with you a stepper card I have made. I have made a number of attempts at this type of card before, but never sucessfully managed it. That is until my friend Gwen at The Stamp Pad started selling this amazing die from Presscut. A quick whizz through my eBosser and all the cutting, measuring and scoring is done for you. A-May-Zing. I love it!

This was White A4 card which I cut with the die.

The backing paper is a blue check from my stash.

This was cut with the extra dies which come with the set.

No measuring needed! :)

The topper is from a Lili of the Valley Art Pad.

The sentiment is also from Lili of the Valley.

All were inked around the edges with Distress ink.

The flourish on either side was cut with a memory box die, from green bazzill.

The corner flourish was cut from a die which was free with a magazine!

The three flowers are from Prima.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wedding time again!

Good Morning 

Well its that time of year when there are lots of weddings around.

I have used another HunkyDory kit for both of these two cards.

This first card is a boxed invertage card.

The images are cut away and you are looking into the box.

I have glittered  this also, however it doesn't show very well on the photo.

The second card was made using a 7x5" card blank.

The waste, cut away, sections of the above card.

These were layered up as a pyramage card.

The papers are from Lili of the Valley paper pad.

A sentiment in the top left hand corner. 

Three pink gems in the top right and bottom left finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by.
